[QUOTE="Enmeshedmom, post: 725315, member: 22547"] Thanks. I think Insteuggle so much with it because back when his father and I were together he was a heavy pot smoker and that was all he cared about(he was also using other stuff that I didn’t know about) now he is a heroin addict. Just the smell of it pi#$es me off. I think my son uses it to self medicate anxiety/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) because before he was smoking frequently he had been showing some signs of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) like at night before bed he had to check that all the doors were locked and the cars multiple times and locking the basement door every time he walked by it, excessive hand washing. And now he does not do that. So maybe in that sense he is functioning better, I just hate the idea of him being dependent on it. When I was a teenager I also smoked pot and thought it was great until one night I had my first panic attack while I was stoned, that started my battle with panic and anxiety. I could not ever smoke it again without having a panic attack (of course I tried) and I have been fighting it ever since. Initially I thought we maybe the same thing will happen to him and that will teach him, but I don’t want that to happen. It was debilitating for me for a couple years and I thought I was going crazy.
